We haven't been very faithful at keeping this updated, you all have our apologies.
TJ is getting up and running faster than expected. Yesterday, he met with one of the men on his leadership team (ironic, considering he is on "sabbatical"). In contrast, a month ago he was in the ICU, half conscious, and not communicating. Today his voice is still hoarse, his short-term memory still isn't up to par, but he is gaining strength back, and overall, his cognitive ability has to be at least to 90% of what it was before.
Yesterday I had a doctor's appointment and it came up that my dad had been in the ICU. I gave a very brief rundown of the experience, and my doctor repeated at least three or four times that it was his sincere conviction that TJ is alive due to prayers and the grace of God.
For the rest of the family, I (Jon) just finished my January course, as Chip has as well. We both have until Monday before school starts back up. I am going back to work next week as well. Mary Ann, too, is going back to work on a part-time basis.
I think we all are starting to get our energy back, although it is coming slowly. But life is starting to finally fall back into a predictable cycle.
Our prayer requests are:
- That TJ and the family continue to regain strength and energy
- That Chip and Jon are able to start school again rested
- And that Jon can finish up last semester's work without too much trouble
- That TJ's memory comes back to full strength, quickly
- That TJ's voice returns to normal
